Hi from British Columbia

Hi I'm from Barriere B.C. I'm new to Digital Cameras and Computers. Got a new Kr about 3 months ago, it's a lot more fun than my old Spotmatic was, but the sensor needs to be cleaned and I'm a little nervous about fooling around inside the thing. But thanks to the information on this web site I don't think it'll be to bad.

Hi Adam yes I have tried it and it works some times, but the dust just seems to come back in a new spot, so I think I'll try to blow it out. I really don't want to take it in to a shop, they want $40.00 to clean it

Hi Arn and thanks I checked out s/m cleaning. I've tried a blower and so far so good, I guess it'll be a on going thing and I hope it keeps working because I really don't want to have to use the swab kit I picked up with the blower. The Rocket Blower is that a hand blower or caned air?

Hi Wheatfield I've read some of your posts, one big difference between you and me is you know what your doing and I don't. I've tried a hand blower and it seems to work, I use it every time I change the lens just to be safe and try to keep everything clean in and around my camera case.

The major effect of cold is on battery life. It won't harm your camera, but to avoid condensation it is advisable to bag the camera when returning indoors to prevent humidity from condensing on it. Let it warm up to room temperature in the bag. Carry extra batteries with you just in case. An inside pocket is a good place for them. It's the temperature that drops the power.
